Eating in Paradise: Cooking in Bali and Java

Description:
Anyone travelling to Indonesia, Bali or Java will find a land steeped in tradition. Peoples from all corners of the world - the Dutch, the Arabs, the Chinese and Indians, Muslims and Hindus -have all left their mark on Indonesian cuisine. Noni Siauw transports us to a gourmet paradise with delicious recipes from her country. The dishes range from 'classic' dishes such as Gado Gado, Nasi Goreng and sates to exotic gourmet dishes such as Crab with Sambal Pineapple and Indonesian Wild Boar. Britta Rath's evocative and informative text conveys the atmosphere of the exotic islands of Java and Bali, introduces the characteristics of Indonesian gastronomy, describes the main Muslim and Hindu festivals and portrays many of the interesting sights of these islands.
